Guest CloakedPenguin Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 Okay this sounds like a stupid question but I have to ask. I have searched google and the howtos but I can't find the answer. How do you perform a sumcheck while logged into linux? I can do it from windows no problem but I don't want to have to move the file to my Windows drive and then log out of linux and then log into windows. I'm sure it's probably something super easy and someone will probably find a tutorial to do such out there, but I've searched for nearly an hour now and I have finally given up. Thanks.
